Are you ready to
experience nature’s nightlife at Camp Seven Hills? Prowl around our trails at
night, search the sky for a shooting star, have a glow-in-the-dark party with
games, plan a kitchen raid, and shop in the Tuck Shop, all at night. You will
also head out to Lasertron for a laser tag sleep-in. Stay up all night playing
laser tag and games along with pizza and pop. After a hard night of play, sleep
late the next morning with time to enjoy your favorite camp activities in the
afternoon. Girls must be at least 46 inches tall in order to participate at
Lasertron.

world through a mask, snorkel, and breathing device. Professional scuba
